I still have the Cragars, but the sports car look gets old after a while. but they will be switched in and out I am sure.

Looks awesome. Thats the direction I think I'm gonna go with my car. What tire and wheel sizes are those, thats exactly how I want mine to sit.

Looks nice but at one time I also ran some Americam racing 15 wheels with 295s on the back they looked nice but the tires handled like crap at 130+ I wouldn't go back..

Is there any driveability issues with that small of a wheel and tire on the street for a daily driven car?

This car has been painted, correct? It looks amazing. The rear shot of the car is the best. Nice welds, looks good. Better than the other rims for sure.

LS1 brakes typically need to have the caliper and bracked ground to clear most 15" wheels.
